I am proud to be an Indian. I am not saying this like the people who suddenly have this feeling of "Indian" because of our booming economy and its recognition in the international circle.

I am proud to be an Indian because of our rich culture, our vast diversity, our religious scripts, our knowledge in the field of science centuries back, the king's rule, the different arts of fighting, Indian cuisine, languages and so on and so forth.

I am not saying this like the people who suddenly have this feeling of "Indian" because of our booming economy // u need'nt have to say it , Kootalee.I remember our 'PK's NRI' post days very vividly :) and the way we were fighting tooth and nail and all ur advice and ur comments :) 'nenjam marapadhillai....' :)

and the special sweet is ghewar... http://www.rajtourism.com/html/fairsfestivals/Teej/Ghewar.htmit is a wheat based disc... which has honeycomb like that of bread all over it. but it is hardersome sugar syrup and mava (milk protein) is added to it.... u have to taste it to know how it tastes

Such statements are just the way to ignore all the caste politics..caste wars..untouchability..and unheard discrimination and unreported human rights cases & deaths.Such comments come from ppl who still learn history books of 5th grade and memorise that india is grt bcos of its diversity etc & stuff..

The sins committed bcos of this caste System is too much for us to make such remarks as u made...as you are a lawyer..you will be well read and be familiar with the problems with caste...

Still Educated South,North indians dont like to marry off their kids to other caste..and u say we live in harmony...??Harmony which comes with Discrimination based on caste is totally unaccepted.. the social structure is collapsed bcos of this caste division....read something more..digg more ..you will realise how we are taken aback bcos of this one word named CASTE.

Hey Nitin :) sorry I have'nt replied to ur comment for so long. But I am happy I am interacting with u otherwise. I hate the caste system , Nitin.The message was just to say , inspite of the caste system, we guys are united. But is it not the truth ? I dont care which caste who belongs.thanks , Nitin :)
